says:I’m trying to find the list of special characters. It tells me to go to ‘control panel’ on the menu, but my laptop Win 10 doesn’t have ‘control panel’ after ‘task manager’, I had to go another route. And then I need to go through that whole process each time I want to select one character. I want a list of characters with shortcuts, so I can print it out and look it up quickly and hit two or three keys to place it, not have to copy each time.
